Alternative Colourway with Abundant Beauty Masks!

Hi Everyone,

This has got to be one of my favourite cards this year… So pleased with the end result!

The feature product for this project is the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks, there are three backgrounds plus four layering elements to make these gorgeous sunflower style bloom.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial

Here you can see a more traditional colour combo using Daffodil Delight and Wild Wheat, with Copper Clay and Early Espresso!

I went a step further and tried another combo with Christmas in mind… I think I might need to work on what to do in the centres though.

I hope you enjoyed this project.
